Radiant Defense: What are UVs, and why you should avoid them

Happy UV Safety Awareness Month! UV radiation, while providing us with essential vitamin D, can also wreak havoc on our skin, causing premature aging, sunburns, and even skin cancer. At AN Skin, we're dedicated to not only enhancing your radiance but also safeguarding your skin against harmful UV damage.


Understanding UV Radiation:

UV radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. It's categorized into three types: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, leading to premature aging, while UVB rays primarily cause sunburns and can contribute to skin cancer. Fortunately, the earth's atmosphere absorbs UVC rays, so they don't reach us. To protect against UVA and UVB rays, make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen. We recommend any of our SPF products because not only are they broad-spectrum, they are mineral-based which means they are free from harmful chemicals.

Why You Should Avoid UV Exposure:


  • Premature Aging: Exposure to UV radiation accelerates the aging process, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. By minimizing UV exposure, you can maintain a youthful complexion for longer.
  • Sunburn: UVB rays are responsible for sunburns, which not only cause discomfort but also increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Protecting your skin from UVB exposure is essential to prevent sunburns.
  • Skin Cancer: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation is a significant risk factor for skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Avoiding UV exposure reduces your risk of developing skin cancer and ensures the health of your skin in the long run.
